The Wind Singing

 

Have you listened, lately,

to the sound of the wind singing?

It could be calling your name.

Perhaps in the long and slender

braids of the Weeping Willow,

undulating like the arms

of a ballerina.

Or in the high canopy

of a tall oak forest,

the crowns being pushed;

swaying yet resilient.

For me, I hear the secret

whispering through thousands

of fine green needles

while standing by the White Pine.

Have you listened, lately,

to the sound of the wind singing?

It is calling your name.
